Clients & Testimonials

Who We Work With

Discernible works with security and privacy leaders at organizations where the stakes are high and the internal dynamics are complex — CISOs navigating board relationships, privacy officers managing regulatory pressure, and security teams working to build the organizational standing their programs deserve. Our clients come to us for communication capabilities that hold up when it matters most.

“The barriers to achieving success are rarely technical. Most often they can be traced back to a lack of effective communication and partnerships with key stakeholders and customers. What’s worse is that many security programs fail to recognize this reality.

Melanie [Discernible CEO] has deep experience developing the skill sets necessary to enable security teams to deliver successful outcomes for their customers and partners through the application of effective communication.”

-Josh Yavor, former head of corporate security, Facebook

“I’m convinced there’s literally no one better in the world at Security and Privacy Communications than Melanie [Discernible CEO]. She’s guided startups and some of the world’s largest companies through endless headline-making events. But even better, you want her in your corner before you have an issue to help guide your teams and culture. She’ll help you get ahead of the curve with a distinct business advantage.”

- Jamie Wallace, former director of cybersecurity, AT&T

“The lessons we learned at DEF CON from Melanie [Discernible CEO] are still with us today - her expertise is durable and not transactional. We have definitely leveled up from working with her.”

-Jeff Moss (@TheDarkTangent), Founder & President, DEF CON

“Discernible’s expertise is the super power for any lawyer’s risk POV.”

- Michelle Finneran Dennedy, former Chief Privacy Officer, Cisco & McAfee
